May denies row led to security minister's exit

Pauline Neville-Jones did not refuse to show Theresa May secret documents, the home secretary has insisted.

Her denial of a row with the former security minister, who quit the job last week, followed a newspaper story suggesting the dispute was the real resignation for the resignation.

According to the News of the World, Baroness Neville-Jones said Ms May did not have sufficient security clearance to see documents relating to a potential Mumbai-style terrorist attack on a British shopping centre, perhaps in Wales, Manchester or London.
